There are times when the criminal justice system may seem irreparably broken, but just as no person is beyond the possibility of redemption, no system is beyond repair. With your support, Restore Justice will work to mend the criminal justice system in Illinois through holistic and humane reforms. Together we can bring back second chances for those who need them the most.

Restore Justice comprises two organizations, the Restore Justice Foundation and Restore Justice Illinois. At this time, you can support criminal justice reform by donating to either entity. Regardless of how you choose to support the work of Restore Justice, we’re honored to have you as a partner in this critical work.
